Joe Kaliko has been appointed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to serve on the board of directors of Connecticut Innovations, the state's quasi-public authority responsible for assisting Connecticut businesses through innovative financing tools and assistance.

Kaliko is an inventor, computer scientist, entrepreneur and intellectual property lawyer with more than 35 years experience in identifying, protecting, licensing and commercializing IP.

Connecticut Innovations provides strategic capital and operational insight to push the frontiers of high-tech industries such as energy, biotechnology, information technology and photonics.

CI has helped more than 100 emerging companies research, develop, and market new products and services. This activity has attracted over $1 billion dollars in additional investments from private equity providers.

CI was created by the Connecticut Legislature in 1989. Since 1995, returns from its investments -- not state money -- have supported operations and new funding programs.
